As a leading producer of silane gases and silicon metals, REC Silicon is well positioned to capitalize on the global megatrends of digitalization, energy transition and energy storage. The Company has developed a strong market position in the semiconductor industry based on its operations in Butte. The reopening of the Moses Lake operations will enable REC Silicon to provide polysilicon to an emerging US solar PV value chain and potentially supply silane gas as anode material to a fast-growing EV battery industry in the US.
